Taking In the Seasons with Jeanie

 
Tonight I went to a book launch of a writer friend of mine. Jeanie Mortensen published her second book, Taking In the Seasons. Her first is a novel, but this is a book of poems.

Our writers' group is a big fan of Jeanie. Her poems are poignant, nostalgic, and full of evocative imagery. She read five of them at the launch party.

We had a really good turnout for this kind of event. It was held at the Ludington Center for the Arts.

Here's Jeanie in the center, visiting with people.

The cake was decorated with an edible reproduction of her book cover.
